Description

Hey, this is a Gear Cube that uses orint in place planetary gears to spin very smoothly.

I made 2 versions. The treasure like Version you can see in the picture. And a plain geometric version like my usual style.

You need: 1 "Heart" 4 "Gear 1" 4 "Gear 2" 8 Connectors

The tool is optional but helps with assembly.

Print settings: Standard settings. So supports. I recommend not using a brim because that might destroy the planetary gears.

Assembly: I made an Assembly Video: https://youtu.be/iqwIogAqah4

Technical Data: One planetary Gear Cube takes roughly 165g of filament and tales 9h to print. The filament I used in the pictures are: Sunlu's Silk PLA green and light gold.

Gave the plain (non-gem) version a try and it will not assemble for me. All of the gears twist in the same direction. I now see that the gem version has two different twists. If the plain version is incorrect, please correct the file. Thanks!

Im sorry I just fixed the mistake. Redownload the file and then print 4 "Geometric Gear 2". You should then be able to assemble it.
